About this map

The Shoal River carves a central path through this section of Walton County, fed by a dense network of tributaries including Wolf Creek, Battle Creek, and Adams Mill Creek. In the early 1970s, the landscape was defined by its water-rich geography, featuring numerous basins and wetlands such as Teal Bay, Dios Bay, and Piney Woods Bay. This terrain is punctuated by significant local landmarks like Fox Hill and several small bodies of water including Andrews Lake and Coal Spring Lake.

Human activity is concentrated along the southern and northern peripheries. To the south, the settlement of Mossy Head sits adjacent to the L & N railroad line and the northern boundary of Eglin AFB. In the north, the community of New Harmony and the Prosperity Ch serve as local focal points. The map documents a rural Florida landscape transitioning through a mix of agriculture and military land use, connected by a network of creeks and several utility pipelines.
